Quinoa With Cauliflower Cranberries And Pine Nuts
I've been looking for quinoa recipes and found this one in vegan express by nava atlas. She recommends using a fragrant oil such as walnut oil or untoasted sesame oil but olive oil may be substituted if those oils aren't available.
Steps
Combine quinoa with 2 1 / 2 cups water in a saucepan.
Bring to a simmer.
Cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes , or until water has been absorbed.
While quinoa is cooking , heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or stir-fry pan.
Add onion and saute over medium-low heat until golden.
Add cauliflower and about 1 / 3 cup water.
Cover and cook 5 minutes , or until cauliflower is just tender.
Once quinoa is done , add it to the cauliflower mixture.
Add cranberries , pine nuts and parsley.
Toss together then remove from heat.
Drizzle in remaining oil and season with salt and pepper.
Serve immediately.
